Overview of Search

Overview of Search

You can search through much of the content in your SkillsMax courses, including course titles, descriptions, text, and video transcripts. You can search for a term within a specific course or across all the courses you're enrolled in, whether they are active or archived.

When the search engine provides results, you can click on any result to view it directly within the course.

Note: Most content on the Course page is searchable, but course exercises and problems, including homework and exam questions, are not currently searchable.

The search engine returns exact matches for the search term as well as matches that contain the search term. For example:

  • A search for "grade" will return results for "grades" and "graded".
  • A search for "graded" will not return "grade" or "grades".
